Transport Intelligence Report: Global e-commerce Logistics 2017
The e-commerce boom has provided tremendous opportunities for growth for LSPs and retailers. However, it has prompted a fundamental change in the operations that take place within logistics facilities, compared to operations which feed brick and mortar outlets. e-commerce logistics provides a very different challenge.
Global e-commerce Logistics 2017, offers readers valuable insight into the development and future prospects of this market.
The report takes a top-down approach and presents this analysis first from a broad, industry-wide perspective, and then delves further to examine the supply chains of major e-retailers and the logistics providers which support them.
It features analysis on the differences in e-commerce supply chains and how retailers have had to adapt to keep pace with their competitors. It looks at the progression of the last-mile and how LSPs have adapted to expectations for a low-cost, high-quality service. The report also examines technological capabilities and how they are being deployed to meet these high customer expectations.
